Sequence 8 - A city within another

At some locations, the road network of the housing estates is plugged to the railway path which diversifies the nature of the movements. To the long itineraries are added short neighbourhood trips, eventually causing use conflict since pedestrians and cyclist are sharing the same lane. The old Mangotsfield station today is a place of interaction: crossroad of two routes, numerous travelers are stopping here. The environment is quiet and allow the birdsongs to be listened by one of those people, that dragged themselves onto the former platform against the disused wall, to keep the bikes circulation at a distance. Conversation and laughs are being heard. This high density of social contacts can be interpreted as an urbanity mark, just like the ambiance met at the swimming areas earlier in the movie. The place is enlivened by the heritage reappropriation. The great green spaces and the longs opaques walls surrounding the path are isolating it. This distance to the city shapes the path as an independent system or a system within the system. The urban layout in the section lets guess that the area has been engineered not only as a mobility tool but also a complete touristic infrastructure.
